Yorkshire and the Humber is exciting and diverse. It is a great place to learn, live, and work in and provides excellent support to becoming a GP. Yorkshire and the Humber combines superb shopping, sports facilities, entertainment and a lively culture, with stunning countryside and coastline. Where else in the United Kingdom can you combine closeness to nature with a great lifestyle - and get such a high quality of training for general practice?
Why train for general practice in Yorkshire and the Humber?
- For the last four years, almost all doctors selected for general practice training who wanted to work in Yorkshire andthe Humber have been able to. Our competition ratios for selection are pretty good now and will get better still - we are expanding and will offer an extra 25% of ST1 entry places in 2010 – a total of 310.
- Although Yorkshire and the Humber is a big deanery, successful applicants get lots of choice in where they want to train. Last year over 95% received a rotation in their top third of choices.
- We give priority to successful applicants with strong reasons to work in a particular place – see the ‘geographical restrictions’ policy.
- We are one of the few deaneries that offer you a full choice of all the training programme rotations available – most deaneries only offer a place on a training programme.
- We have a good track record in providing training to international medical graduates – 36% in 2009 – and we tailor our programmes to help them acquire the skills needed to pass the clinical skills assessment for the MRCGP exam.
- A very high proportion of our trainees successfully complete their general practice training.
- Employment prospects for GPs are great in Yorkshire and the Humber – a high proportion of our trainees obtain employment in the locality where they trained.
- Taking time out of programme to work abroad is encouraged after ST2. An OOPE is already established in Wanganui Hospital in New Zealand.
The School of General Practice seeks to meet the needs of the population that we serve. The School provides continuity, seeks engagement with key stakeholders, and aims to work collaboratively with them. The School aims to be consistent, fair, and open in its decision making.
